Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 pound cooked turkey, shredded or sliced
- 8 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and sliced
- 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds or sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
- Without separating the individual rolls, slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly distribute the shredded or sliced turkey over the bottom layer of rolls, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spoon the cranberry sauce over the turkey and spread gently. If the sauce is too thick, microwave for 10 seconds to loosen.
- Arrange the brie slices evenly over the cranberry sauce, covering as much surface area as possible.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the filling, pressing down gently.
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
- If using, sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds over the buttered tops.
- Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 5–7 minutes, until tops are golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Let the sliders rest in the dish for 5 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set.
Notes
Line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy lifting and cleanup. For extra-crispy tops, broil for 1–2 minutes after baking, watching closely to avoid burning. Use day-old rolls for better texture. Warm cranberry sauce slightly before spreading to prevent cooling the sliders.
